Metal production

Smelting and melt moulding plants, sintering plants, steelworks engineering such as in conversion plants, continuous casting plants, hot and cold rolling mills are just a few examples for the diverse application areas of JAKO pressure and temperature measuring devices. The area of application is characterised by aggressive environmental conditions, high measuring medium temperatures, pulsating pressure loads and strong vibrations.
 

Highest operational safety must be ensured in these plants. Accordingly, the ATEX EC Directive must be complied with for measuring instruments in potentially explosive atmospheres. If a SIL assessment of the measuring instruments is required for the risk evaluation of the overall plant, JAKO also supplies the respective required data: the average probability of failure on demand (PFDa), hardware failure tolerance (HFT) and thesafe failure fraction (SFF).
